The adjusting means 10 consists of a pair of arms 20 pivoted to each other at thelr top ends, and formed with slightly bent-in bottom ends;- v The materials of the hats at their lower edges are formed with inverted V-shaped cutouts 21. The arms are attached to the edges of the cutouts by means of glue or stitches, so that the points of pivot of the arms are disposed in the apexes'of the V cutouts. Elastic straps. 22 are attached at i I their ends to opposite sides of the cutouts 21 and act to normally close these openings. Wedge shapedmembers 28] are engaged between the arms20 and normally hold the V-cutouts open. The hat may adjusted to at smaller size by-manually removing the wedges 23, so that the elastlcs close the cutouts. The members 28 and arms 20 engage each other by means-of tongue and groove constructions 24-.
